There are two ways you can become a student of the Graduate Program in Energy and Sustainability (PPGES):
- Regular Student – The selection normally takes place once a year according to a Public Notice of Selection. Applications are usually made during the month of September.
- Special Student – In some subjects, vacancies are offered for those who are not yet regular students of the course (Enrollment in a single subject). This list is published before the beginning of each academic quarter. Those interested in taking single courses should follow the instructions for enrolment that are posted on the website before each school quarter. In addition, they should attend the first class of the quarter of the chosen course to talk with the professor (s) of the subject. The courses taken in this modality can be validated in the future if students join as regular students.
